Classical music and narrated stories for children
April 10, 2011 Leave a comment
Carol-Anne Fraser, the former music director at university mass and currently a graduate student at the Université de Montréal, sent us the following information about a project aimed at getting children acquainted with classical music at a young age:
A friend of mine at the University of Montreal (Elizabeth Schumann) has come up with an awesome idea of producing a classical music CD for children. She and her sister Sonya have devoted their time and energy to a very important issue:
We decided to record a children’s CD which, through narrative storytelling, is an attractive vehicle for classical piano pieces. Government funding for Arts Education has been cut everywhere, and we’re worried that children are not exposed to classical music. If classical music could be presented to young children in a way that captured their imaginations, a larger audience of children could grow to love music in a way that would enrich their whole lives.
Please find a link below for the fundraising website Kickstarter where you can find out more information about their project, view an amazing video, and make a donation. Every little bit helps toward their fundraising goal that needs to be reached by May 30th:
Please also forward this to your friends and family!! Thanks so much!
